How it works

Dual Wield is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Dual Wield (effect type 40).
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 155, which the datamine does not name.

What it does

Dual Wield is a spell with an instant cast and no range (it targets the caster). When cast it has a Dual Wield effect.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
